Today the SDA in Ukraine officially suspended all visits to children in institutions due to the H1N1 scare. That means the SDA will give no referrals to anyone wanting to go to orphanages to get their kids. No one knows how long the suspension will be. The guess is three to four weeks. The SDA has promised to revisit the issue in nine days.

So do we buy plane tickets? Do we wait for nine days to see what happens? What if the suspension were lifted in nine days? That would give us three days to buy tickets and get a million things done in order to be in Ukraine on November 17. I must be on Candid Camera to see how far someone can be pushed before they crack. I'm just about to the edge. I hope we get better news soon.

  2. It would be wonderful if they let you keep the 17th though! Even if it only gives you three days (don't you have your black clothes and boots already packed?) Missed you at lunch, hope things are going well with Rita.

  4. I'm so sorry Lori! That reminds me of when we found out they were trying to ban all international adoptions right before we left. We will be thinking of you!
